Hi friends--Life has been busy, and I have not been able to get myself together enough to make and photograph a recipe. So, here are some tidbits about my life lately and inspiration from the internet for your Sunday.
Making: mac and cheese and cornbread from this Southern cookbook.
Drinking: water with lemon slices.
Reading: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.
Wanting: Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert.
Watching: The Mindy Project, Jane the Virgin, and Downton Abbey.
Listening: to so many podcasts. My favorites are Marriage is Funny, The Lively Show, and One Part Plant. Lately I've started listening to the Robcast. I also really liked this interview with Seth Godin on the Tim Ferris Show.
Eating: salads with roasted sweet potatoes, guacamole and black beans; yogurt bowls with berries
and granola; baked oatmeal with almond butter (always).
Enjoying: re-watching all the Harry Potter movies with Adam. So good.
Loving: All the "Let it be Sunday" posts from Joy the Baker.
Hoping: for warm Spring weather!
Needing: to write a 30-page paper for class (welp!).
Feeling: grateful for so many things.
Wearing: the same clothes as always--I haven't been clothes shopping in forever. I did rent a dress for Barrister's Ball from Rent the Runway, and I had a really good experience. I may rent dresses again for weddings this spring and summer.
Dreaming: about post-bar exam vacation plans. Any recommendations?
Bookmarking: This post and video on how to make really good homemade pizza and this beautiful forbidden rice breakfast porridge.
I hope you have a lovely week and find something new to be grateful for!
Rent the Runway is fantastic! I rented dresses for my bachelorette party, my rehearsal dinner, and for another bachelorette party and wedding! I highly recommend :)
ReplyDeleteOk--good to know! Thanks, Ellen!
DeleteI think renting a beautiful dress is a brilliant idea. I love that you've given yourself permission to be human and enjoying life. I see so many bloggers write that they feel guilty that they haven't posted an over the top recipe in x number of days. For me, blogging is about being real and you are! Good luck with the exam.
ReplyDeleteThis is the second time this week someone has mentioned Robcast - I need to check it out!
ReplyDeleteI thought about doing rent the runway for a ball we had to go to a few weeks back - I ended up just wearing something a little less formal than I should have that I owned haha But I need to do that in the future!!
Great, great way to go - this is a great news.
